A Sightseeing Day

Gone most of the day. First stop was to pick up Ann & JD, our tour guides. The trip now begins with a stop in Port A at a well hidden, one room Catholic Church sitting on a hill surrounded by brush. Very neat to peak in the windows and see the 6 benches among the decor painted walls. This is privately owned and used for small weddings, etc. One would never find this or know of this church...only a resident knows of it...not advertised at all.
I believe yesterday I mentioned in my post about a $1.75 lunch. Oh, boy, was it good. The long line of waiting was well worth it. We then went to an antique barn which the entrance was lined with painted old bikes used as the fence. Heading northward we drove the shoreline into the neighboring small towns. The bays, pelicans, live oak trees, and fishing boats were awesome. The boats were coming in with loads and loads of oysters. Mike's mouth was watering! At the end of the tour was a huge (did I say HUGE) oak tree. We drove what seemed like a country road along the bay shoreline and then .... there it was!! Unbelievable!
For those of you who really know us, our last stop was at the DQ back in Port A. Oh, while we were crossing the ferry, the large casino ship was coming in with the day cruise ending. It goes 9 miles out to the international waters and then the action begins.....so we are told.
Tomorrow, I get a crash course on Ebay selling by JD.
As you see, life does stay busy when away from home. Until then.....
